Not if everyone ignores the article from a biased source. And trollish headline....

Is there really an unbiased source anywhere? And yeah, the trollish headline is pretty good

All reporting involves some bias- It's human nature. However, when the bias comes into play? If it comes after the reporting-that's one thing. If it's a pre-existing bias, then you are filtering reality quite wrong.

placed on behalf of the Russian government by its public-relations firm, Ketchum.

So tell me, please, gloating Republitard white-knighters, should I be more upset that HuffPo published the articles, or that a US firm is shilling for Vladimir Putin's increasingly Stalinist government and raking in the rubles by doing so?

ITT: A vile rag funded by a "one percenter" living large off her unearned divorce proceeds, which regularly publishes outright propaganda and false "medical news" that deters the gullible from getting proper medical care, manages to spawn at least one defender.

I know that news publishers often have interests to publish things that may or may not be true. In the case of FoxNews, the entire network all day stilts each and every news story, often stating outright lies, in an effort to please one man in his eternal quest to be the world's biggest douchebag.

Obviously both sides are bad, but FoxNews is the absolute worst, most biased source on Earth and they have the audacity to say "Fair and Balanced". We know HuffPo and MSNBC are progressive news sources. They are unabashedly so. Some folks like listening to echo chambers so they can pick up their daily talking points and responses to "the other sides" talking points. However, you're not going to find any MSNBC viewer talking about how their shows are "fair and balanced" to both sides. You might find 1 out of 10 FoxNews viewers that admit their show is geared to a primarily conservative audience.

Reports on leaking pipelines, the failure of HUD to enforce the Fair Housing Act, Nursing home violatons, soldiers being unable to get combat records ... it's a bunch of Commies. We can't trust them. Them Commies must be lying about Russia using PR tactics worthy of, oh, I don't know, a corporation run by Republicans.

It's a TARP! No, wait. It's not that bad.

Anybody who hates hedgefunders, gerrymandering and BP can't be all bad.

The problem with Communism was that a tiny few wound up with all the resources and power.

True that's one of the problems... but those tiny few political elite had their luxury lifestyle been dispersed equally would still have left the average soviet worker a pauper. Having seen some former com-block "luxury" items, I'd still rather be middle class in America during the 80s.

The fundamentals of communism just do not lend to growing living standards like free market capitalism.

Can't really compare them. Communism is a failed attempt to forge a system of government from socialism, which is merely a useful social tool.Capitalism is just a way of making money, and as such, is a useful social tool. And like socialism, when elevated to the level of a system of government (Laissez-faire, or neoconservatism) it fails catastrophically - like communism. It failed catastrophically in the 1930s, and is about to again today. This time, I think we'll be luckier. With the boomers dying, and the immigrants coming, the political pendulum is swinging back toward a moderate, democratic system. Fortunately, the adults seem to be taking charge again.

Subby seems to have left out the noted communists at CNBC. I always suspected Kudlow was being blackmailed by the rooskies for all the blow and hookers to put the face of a douchebag on free market capitalism. I wonder what they have on Santelli...

There's not much difference between Communism and Lassez-Faire capitalism, in practice. The robber-baron capitalism of the late 19th century closely resembled Maoism, in practice. Work farms and company towns surrounded with armed guards instructed to shoot workers who attempted to escape, company stores and housing, a huge, impoverished working class supporting a tiny elite who had the power of life and death over them. they might as well have been in Stalin's Russia.
